Witton - Match thread
« on: August 27, 2017, 07:45:45 AM »

Looks like we might be down to the bare bones

-----------------Thompson
--------Moult---Hannigan---Jones
-------Taylor--Richman--Sheridan
Johnston-----------Poole---------------Hulme
-----------------------Peers

Looked like a few were in trouble at the end yesterday, might have to recall the forward from Ramsbottom. A key game to win tomorrow, but you'd probably take a draw if we have so many missing

Might indeed be a good time to recall Tolani Omotola, especially as he scored Ramsbottom's late equaliser at Hyde yesterday.

And what's up with Harrison?

Harrison looked to be really struggling in the last 15 minutes yesterday, and only seemed to stay on because we had no subs left.Densmore will be back but jet lagged according to yesterday's article. Short looked injured and a few others were hobbling at the end also

Excited about tomorrow's game but with the injuries I would play 3 at the back with Johnson and Hancock as wing backs to counter attack them. With a 3 man mid and both Peers and Hulme up top. I reckon we would get them on the attack but both wing backs would have to work really hard at their defensive duties.

I know people are avoiding home games, but hopefully we are bouyed by a large travelling support. Long time since we've played witton, it's very accessible, no reason why we shouldnt take a few hundred. Trains are running normally tomorrow, the alty to lostock gralam services depart at the following times

Outbound
10:46
11:46
12:46
13:46

Returns
17:34
18:39

Adult return £7.80
Child return £3.90

Nearest pub to lostock station and wincham park is the slow and easy, it's a two minute walk from the station and about a 20 minute walk from the ground

Is playing Johnston at wing back and wanting him to put in hard working defensive duties possible? He's great for pressing forward and getting at teams but not sure he has a defensive mindset!

If I was the opposition and saw him at wing back, I certainly know which flank I'd be aiming to attack down.

Might come in handy if you get off in Northwich

Yeah I agree it would be a gamble and I was critical of his defensive  duties when I first saw him against Wrexham but I would like to see us get at Witton and would take the gamble. We could easily go 4-4-2 by putting Richman at right back if we are getting over run but I would love to attack them and have two up top for the first time. On Richman, I think he has started the season really well, considering he had no pre season. I didn't go yesterday so I am hoping he had a good game. Still want him back in centre mid for his pressing and energy.

Much as I like Johnson he'd be as effective as lawrie as a wing back in his defensive duties.
